3d printing forum for medical entrepreneurship

Every generation needs a revolution - an entrepreneurial revolution

TO     :   Dr. Dominic Velasco
              Ms. Kim Semon

 cc:     Mr. Owie Ferrer
           Dr.  Gloan Adolor  MBAH program director

We reset the 3d printing lecture for July 9, 2016, at 2 to 4 pm,  possibly at the amphitheater.  This is supposed to be a classroom activity, but many will benefit from this activity, 

Objectives:  

     1.  This is in line with the objective of Dr. Adolor to encourage research in MBAH.   3d printing has applications in optometry, cosmetic surgeon.  One of the frontiers after molecular science stem cells and regenerative medicine is bio printing

    2.  To recognize the use of 3d printing in rapid prototyping for lean start ups;

    3.  To appreciate role of 3d printing in creativity.

    4.  To level up entrepreneurship into technology and frontiers of science

The invitation of the speaker can be counted as group project.

What:   use of 3 d printing in entrepreneurship (rapid prototyping ) and medical profession

Who:    audience     :   other MBAH students, other entrep students, of Dr. Del Carmen and Dr. George Fong,  friends and other colleague.

Speakers:

      1.   Mr. Cedric Ng.  CEO and President of Omnifab

           He will speak on:

          3d printing  history and its presence in Phil

         3d printing application in medicine and medical technoloyg

         Metal 3 d printer which has application in:

              1.  rapid prototyping
              2.  aerospace
              3.  medical
              4.  dental
              5.  defense

         

      2.  Dr. Rene Catan, MBAH graduate orthopedic surgeon and CEO of Ortho Logic.  He has several patents on implants and prosthesis.  He took up Entrep as an elective under this professor

     3.  President of  Philippine Dental Association.  He has been using 3d printing on dental application:   bridges, braces implants and the like

    4.  Co director of MMC Regenerative Medicine (boss of Scientist Kim)

     We have not been able to get Dr. Rafael Bundoc spine surgeon who is one of the pioneers in use of 3d printing in surgery.


Panelists:

     Mr. Cedric Ng proposed/suggested that he will bring in panelist from DOST, like directors of MIRDC and other departments who are pioneering this new technology at DOST and the Philippines

It is hoped that when this 3d printing catches up, Philippines, medical technology, medicine and the manufacturing capability of the Philippines will be in the mainstream and we will not be left behind.

This was included in the seminar attended by the undersigned 3 years in Bangkok where Stanford U expert prof lectured on design and creativity and the 3d printer was mentioned.

This can be a course at IT, and even at K 12 program.   (It is skill and knowledge beyond CAD CAM and CAE)

Plan of action:

1.  Finalize program and arrangements

2.  Send invitations to enrep and MBAH classes; and speakers.

3.  Prepare:

     food and refreshments

    parking at basement

    tokens and certificates for speakers:

          tarps

         announcements at fb and possibly AGSB website.
